West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners

This is a great video documenting the work that the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners do to run the Highlands Sky 40 mile trail race and also to maintain trails in federal wilderness areas. The Highlands Sky 40 mile race is one of the few in the nation that runs through federally designated wilderness. The Wilderness Act which created the wilderness preservation system doesn't allow races in wilderness areas. The legislation used to create the new Roaring Plains and Dolly Sods Wilderness Areas specifically allowed the race to continue. This video documents the great work that the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners do to care for these special trails. You can find out more about WVMTR here as well: http://www.wvmtr.org
